Approval Workflow + Task Assignment

LBenjey

Hello!

I have used automated workflows in the past, but this is my first time trying to use the "Request an Approval" workflow.

I was able to get this workflow set up on my sheet, but I was hoping that I could set it up in such a way that I could have my reviewer not only approve/decline the submitted row but also then assign a task to another team member in the same step.

Is a two-part approval/update like this possible or do I have to set it up so that the reviewer receives a second email after approving/denying the row that asks for them to update another field with the new team member assignment?

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Hi @LBenjey

I hope you're well and safe!

Unfortunately, combining them is impossible now, but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

• You'd have to do the Approval and then send an Update Request (could be automated)

Would that work?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Best,

Thanks! I did get it set up that way, and I think that might work for now, even if it isn't the optimal solution.
